One way to find out would be using something that can proxy responses,
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Specia...
for instance shows me all sorts of stuff like "This page was last modified on" which I don't get when loading the page in my browser, I get a pretty much blank page. So yeah, there is discrimination.

AFAIK yes, to the correct chapter wiki.

Um ... Isn't the [[Donate]] link on the Foundation wiki supposed to direct people to somewhere we can take their money year-round?
(I discovered it when I was telling someone to GIVE US MONEY and took a moment to check the link rather than just trust it from memory.)

Ugh, yes this is the issue. The default for LandingCheck right now went to Donate and so for payment processing chapters it got an error when it didn't find a page for that country (Donate/GB, Donate/FR etc for DE and CH as well). I've created chapter redirect pages to allow it to work for now.
Thanks for the email, this was set up in anticipation of some changes on the backend to allow the same link to work for our new WMF pages AND chapter pages (right now the links only work with WMF pages from last year and pages like Donate actually only went to the WMF) but the rest of the changes aren't in place yet and I, falsely, believed this would default to the old status quo while we waited (it did so for every country but the fundraising chapters).
